Juan Manuel Marquez. Victor Ortiz. Shane Mosley. Whether fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao, those have been entertaining fights that have done big business. But the one boxing match every fan has wanted to see the last three-plus years only involves two men: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
The historic fight that will indeed break pay-per-view and live gate records has been on the cusp of being booked the last couple of years, only to fall apart due to politics and both sides not agreeing on the drug testing procedures. UFC President Dana White has sided with Pacquiao in the past, citing that an athlete should not have to go through a specific drug test that is not directly from the state athletic commission.
Mayweather has come out and said Pacquiao is scared. Pacquiao has said Mayweather is scared. Now after Mayweather was allegedly targeting May 5, 2012 as the date of the (hopefully) eventual super fight, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum comes out and says that the proposition is a joke and the fight is still far from happening. So much for that.....Pacquiao faces Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12. In sports, money usually talks. Hopefully, both sides will come to their senses and give boxing fans what they really want: a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
